What TRS-RenTelco does

TRS-RenTelco is an electronic test and measurement (T&M) equipment rental, leasing, and sales provider with over 40 years of operating history (founded 1982), headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The company maintains an inventory of more than 5,000 equipment models sourced from major OEMs including Keysight Technologies, Tektronix, Rohde & Schwarz, Fluke, Anritsu, Viavi Solutions, Teledyne LeCroy, EXFO, and AFL Global-Fujikura. The portfolio spans 23 product categories — oscilloscopes, spectrum and network analyzers, optical/fiber test, protocol analyzers, RF/microwave, HEV-EV test, power quality, and electrical/industrial instruments — and is bundled into ten solution verticals covering 5G, aerospace & defense, AI infrastructure, automotive, data centers, IoT, RF/microwave, serial design & debug, and wireless/wireline installation and maintenance.

The business operates a sales-led, multi-channel go-to-market model combining direct field sales with applications engineers, phone-based inside sales (800-874-7123, no automated answering during business hours), an e-commerce storefront with online request-for-quote functionality, and a customer hub portal. Revenue is generated through four streams: short-term equipment rentals (same-day shipping, pay-as-you-go), long-term leasing including the Freedom Finance Lease with end-of-term purchase option, new equipment sales at discounted rates with extended technical support (weekdays 7am-9pm CT), and AccuPlus certified pre-owned equipment sales at up to 95% off list price with 0% interest financing upon credit approval and a 5-day evaluation period. Operational performance is anchored on a 99.72% Equipment Quality Rating and 24/7/365 customer support with calibration included in rentals.
